Sluggish Magic Mouse due to LaCie USB 3.0 driver

I'm experiencing an extremely sluggish Magic Mouse when the USB 3.0 driver from LaCie is installed and a LaCie drive is connected. After removing the driver the mouse works as expected. Does anyone observed something similar?

I am experiencing the same problem on a new mac mini - when the LaCie Rikiki USB 3.0 is connected the Magic Mouse is unusable.
As sonn as the Rikiki is disconnected the mouse works again, since the Rikiki is suppose dto be the TimeMachine volume, kepping it disconnected is not really desired.
Tried the FW update from laCie's web site - but the drive already useds the latest FW.
Installing / Uninstalling LaCie-USB 3.0 drivers also did'nt made any different.
Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.8.2)

  • I have a magic mouse that needs a usb receiver.  what do I buy?  Is it specific to mac?

    I have a magic mouse that needs a usb receiver.  is this a specific mac part or does a universal work?

    I suspect you do not have a Magic Mouse.   The Magic Mouse is an Apple product and does not need a USB receiver.   I guess you have a Logitech mouse and a USB receiver should have been supplied to you by the store you bought it from, if it was indeed bought from a store.
    You could always contact the manufacturer.

  • Magic Mouse not working after USB mouse installed

    Hello,
    I have been using my Magic Mouse for years then last week I inserted a USB mouse.  Once I'd finished using the USB mouse I removed it and tried to use the Magic Mouse but it simply didn't work.  Now - this is the odd bit.  The mouse is connected and shows the batteries at 100% and the cursur moves around the screen, however, when I click (left or right) nothing happens.  Oddly enough, the two finger swipe works fine.
    Any ideas???

    Hello DeeDub1978,
    I'm having a little trouble working out which mouse does or doesn't do what, so can we start again.   It is possible there is no link between the faults on the two mice.
    1.     First, to check your USB mouse.   Does it have a nice healthy light when it is plugged in?   And is there a cursor showing on the screen?    And the roller ball in the centre of the mouse ... does that look clean or slightly off colour? 
    2.    Then the Magic Mouse.   Although the batteries show 100%, is there a constant green light below ... or does it flicker.   With these mice there have been several reports of problems after the Yosemite upgrade and not having Yosemite I have no way of checking things out.   So if I say to you, on lower level OSs, an SMC reset would be an early move, I am not sure if it has the same effect with your OS.   If it can be done, do it.    I have to assume you have checked the settings and the pairing.
    Clearly we need to get at least one mouse working and I think the USB one should be the main target.
    Please answer in two separate sections in the way I have set out my questions.
    Thank you for the star; I do hope I can improve and help repair at least one of them.

  • HT4144 Last April I bought a new a iMac but I didn't need to use the magic mouse  until few days ago. It drives me crazy. I have changed so many butteries but keeps loosing connection. I haven't it on the wall yet but I might be close to. It has to be fau

    Why a magic mouse divours batteries? Why does it loose connection evey few minutes? Can I have it replaced?
    <Edited By Host>

    Hello again,
    Just idly thinking about your post mentioning you had only had it for 4 or 5 days. Such a problem rarely gets better with time, were you suggesting you hoped it would improve, in other words?
    I can see you are now aware of the packing option but if you are using Apple, Duracell or Energiser batteries packing it out should not be necessary.   Any other batteries I cannot speak for.  
    One buys Apple because of its' reputation against other products; you will be helping to maintain that by asking for an exchange.   You will feel better for it, and speak better of it.
    Forgive me if the opinion is a touch biased; I've been very lucky with my iMac purchase and the only exchange I ever made only enhanced my view of Apple; it went so smoothly.
    Thank you for the star.

  • USB Cord that comes with Magic Mouse

    HI,
    I bought a Magic Mouse when they first came out. With it came a USB cord. One end is a normal usb, the other is where a USB would go in it. Except at this end, a normal USB doesnt fit, as it has a bit of metal that is raised up, as though to fit a specific type of USB.
    I was wondering if anyone knows what it is actually for and how it works? I have been looking at things and it discusses that it connects to charging stations, but the charging stations for the magic mouse I have seen, have plugs for the wall.
    It seems odd to get this cord with the mouse, but it not connecting to the mouse?
    Thanks

    I don't see why Apple would send a usb coard with a bluetooth mouse. But I purchased a wired keyboard  a while back that came with a coard that fits your discription. I think they raised a bit of the metal up so you could only use the coard as an extension with an apple mouse or keyboard. The Male USB end on myh keyboard has a grove down the center, alowing it to plug into Apple's extension, while still letting it plug into a normal USB port.

  • What kind of bluetooth dongle(usb) should I get to use my Magic Mouse properly?

    My Mac Pro doesn't have bluetooth. What kind of bluetooth dongle(usb) should I get to use my Magic Mouse properly? I already have one, but it makes the mouse seriously lacking.

    I keep the dongle plugged into the back of my apple 27" monitor so that means it is only 1 to 2 feet away from the mouse.  Don't plug it into the mac pro itself if that is at any distance from the mouse.  The closer you can keep the dongle to the mouse the better.
    Do a smc and pram reset.
    If all is lost, and you have xcode installed then you can do a bluetooth factory reset.
    Note that if you should sleep your machine, power is off the usb's, so the dongle is off.  This means you cannot wake the machine with any BT devices like the mouse (I use a wired keyboard).  Also sometimes upon waking the machine the mouse does not immediately re-pair (maybe 20% of the time).  So you have to flip its switch to get the system's attention.
    While I do have internal BT, using the dongle disables the internal (at least for 2010 mac pro's).
    And of course BT would go inactive if you pulled the dongle out!

  • Magic Mouse extremely sluggish when Time Capsule starts

    Why is my Magic Mouse becoming extremely sluggish when Time Capsule is backing up my data? This is really frustrating, I even stopped backing up my computer because the mouse is becoming almost impossible to use as soon as Time Capsule starts...
    I've heard stories of interferences between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, can anyone confirm that and provide me with a way to solve the problem? Thanks in advance.

    UPDATE:
    I think I've found a solution.... Though I'm a bit reluctant to post it already because I'd really like to see if it works over time... Anyway, here is the interesting post I found by Mr. Caliostro:
    ... sure, go into your Airport Utility application, inside Utilities inside Applications. Click on Manual Setup when your TC appears in the window. Click on the Wireless tab. You will find a pulldown menu there called Channel. Select your channel & Update your TC settings. I set mine to channel 1 to try it, & it made a tiny improvement. How close is your TC to your mac? Does the interference reduce if you ove further away? Perhaps swapping from 802.11g/n to 802.11n or vice-versa, may help? (depending if your setup can work on 11n-only). Perhaps switching from 2.5ghz to 5ghz or vice-versa may help? both 11n & 11g can work at 5ghz as well as 2.5ghz... Let me know how you go!
    I set the 5GHz channel to 48 and the 2.4GHz to 1. Of course I changed these settings completely randomly since I don't know anything about these things but it actually seems to work pretty fine! No more sluggish mouse during Time Capsule back ups!

  • Magic Mouse & USB mouse together on one iMac?

    New iMac with Magic Mouse works fine for me.
    Mr H doesn't like the Magic Mouse and prefers our old Logitech USB wireless mouse with a receiver which is plugged into a USB port. (Mr H mostly uses the MBP, but when he uses the iMac he is unhappy with the MM)  The Logitech mouse works fine with the iMac and the two work together - I just want to be sure I'm not confusing things by running both.
    Is there any reason we can't keep the wireless receiver for the USB mouse plugged in so he can use that when he wants and I can use the Magic Mouse when I want?  I should turn off the MM when I'm not using it and hopefully the setup assistant won't try to find it when it's turned off.
    Thanks,
    Mrs H

    I've use both without any issue leaving the Logitech's receiver plugged in and the mouse always turned on. The MM, however, I would turn off when using the Logitech. I did not notice any problems this way.
    You shouldn't lose the BT connection unless the battery in the MM is dying. Otherwise, I would take the iMac in for warranty service because you should not have connection problems with BT.
    Did I have a Helpful answer?
    Yes, very helpful but now I'm puzzled/concerned about my BT and my brand new iMac!!
    My bartery for the MM shows at 100% - we're talking brand new here.
    When I finished writing to you above, I turned off the MM, disconnected the Logitech receiver, and let the iMac go to sleep.
    I came back now (USB mouse not connected) tapped a key to wake up the iMac, and turned on the MM.  It connected with no problem to BT and I am up and running.
    i'm going to post this, plug in the USB received, turn off the MM, let the iMac go to sleep and come back and see what - I'll report back.
    In case this helps with understanding what's going on - BT settings in syst pref for MM:
    - BT box checked to ON, but Discoverable not checked - when it was checked it kept searching for new devices each time the iMac woke up.
    -in Advanced options : only the first option do I have checked, open BT setup assistant at startup when no input device is present (I thought about unchecking that, but it asked me if I really wanted to do that implying that if I did and the connection was lost I'd be in trouble - so I left it checked) All others unchecked.
    Any further ideas?

  • Will magic mouse work on Power G5 with USB bluetooth?

    I have a Power G5 Mac OS 10.5.8 and I really want to buy the magic mouse. However since I don't have bluetooth, will it work if I purchase a USB bluetooth? If anyone has done this, please let me know!

    Hi Maria, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    The Magic Mouse is wireless, and uses a Bluetooth 2.1 transceiver to communicate with Bluetooth-enabled Macs. It can connect to any Mac that has a Bluetooth module, either built-in or added via a USB dongle. In fact, that’s the approach I took. I used a Bluetooth dongle to connect the Magic Mouse to an older Mac Pro that is not equipped with Bluetooth.

  • Installed SSD & replaced Superdrive with HDD. Magic Mouse now sluggish

    It may be a coincedance but since I have installed a SSD (to replace to HDD) drive and replaced the Superdrive (DVD Drive) with the existing HDD (using a HD caddy), my Magic Mouse has been sluggish.
    At first it seems that my Mac was overall slow but it seems that it was just getting a bit too hot - when I opened Mac and at same time gave things a clean, I made the fan less efficient and more noisy - its OK now. Still seem to be getting hotter than I remember but it is now summer and my apartment is pretty warm.
    The heat is on the left hand side of the keyboard (what would be causing that??) and not on the side where the SDD or HDD is.
    Anyway, going back to the mouse. It sluggish and lags a bit. I have tried brand new batteries and same problem.
    Any ideas??

    I am hving the same issue.
    magic mouse with hdd in original place + new SSD in optic drive bay.
    OSX is on ssd bay. user on HDD.
    Mouse seems to be sluggish when SSD is writing. Dropbox sync + time machine read/write etc.
    Any insight on why this is would be great.

  • Sluggish drunk stumbling Magic Mouse

    Help!   As we all have, we paid alot for quality and we are not receiving it.   Mac has done nothing to resolve the 10,000 help requests when it comes to their product, the magic mouse.
    Issue: Magic Mouse performing with sluggish, drunk, lagging. 
    What has been tried:
    Reseting  PRAM
    Deleting Plists
    rebooting after resting SMS
    uninstalling & reinstallng blutooth devices
    Changing the frequency on my router to 1 & 3.
    I've done it all and...... I've performed 2x a complete system reinstalls.   It works until the OS wants the updates and then the issue resolves all overagain.  ITS SOFTWARE RELEATED!!!!!! 
    SO, if anyone has other suggestions, help and new suggestions would gratefully appreciated. 
    The Macfrauds have spend a few hours and then they send me to the tech guys at the store, who over and over again say eventualy for a reinstall, which I'm not going to perform for a 3rd time.
    Please help.   THANK YOU!

    I had this problem too. heres what I did... its like a checklist:
    ok first, make sure you have really good batteries in it, "low" won't cut it.
    2nd) if you have a desktop Mac (like MacPro etc) there is a T shaped antenna at the back. this sometimes gets loose and effects the signal between the mouse and the machine. take it out, clean off the plug part, reinstall it, make sure its making a good connection.
    3) clean out the scroll ball with rubbing alcohol, cotton ball, and one of those blowguns helps too. make sure there is no debris caught in the ball. hod it upside down, blow the airgun into it etc. this usually works for me.
    worst case, buy a new mouse.

  • Magic Mouse a bit sluggish when moved diagonally?

    Hi,
    I just connected a Magic Mouse to my Macbook Pro, it appears to me that the tracking is a bit sluggish when moved diagonally, that is, when i move the mouse diagonally it appears to object to the notion and instead move either vertically or horizontally for a moment and then kick in moving vertically. This is more apparent when moving short distances than long ones.
    Is it possible my magic mouse is defective? or that it requires additional setup/calibration?
    Thank you.

    Ditto on the complaints. I am very frustrated. I'll be working in Aperture, for example, with an album of several hundred photos I am in the process of rating. As I go to reach for the mouse to click on a particular photo, the mouse activates a scrolling function and POOF!... I'm at the top of my photo album, forced to scroll many rows of photos to get to that one I was about to click on. Google Maps is useless as well. iTunes also sporadically scrolls through music. My productivity is noticeably hindered by this phenomenon. As a result, I find myself grabbing the mouse like a fragile egg- just on its sides to prevent accidental scrolling.

  • Magic mouse sluggish after rebooting mac

    Hi,
    I have a strange problem with my magic mouse.
    I have an early 2013 Macbook pro retina. After I upgraded to Yosemite, for a while I had a lot of problems with the magic mouse, sluggish response, disconnecting all the time and so on.
    I reset the SMC and that solved the problem, occasionally it would come back but resetting the SMC always solved it.
    But a few times, I have problems after rebooting the mac. The mouse is working perfectly but when the computer reboots starts behaving badly.
    Yesterday I had that problem, I rebooted my mac and after all the mouse was terrible. I tried resetting the SMC but it didn't work. I remove the device and it had problems finding it, it eventually did but still it wasn't working well.
    After a while, I shut down the system, reset the SMC once again, waited for about a minute, turned it back on and as the mouse was still a bit erratic, then I rebooted, and from then on it worked well.
    I read an Apple support article that recommends doing that, shutting down, wait, power on and restart.
    What puzzles me is why would this happen when I reboot the mac. It's like bluetooth needs sometime to start working properly again.
    does anybody know anything about this?

    HI,
    Try Resetting the PRAM
    Also, install the v10.6.2 Combo Update
    Repair disk permissions.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and *restart your Mac.*

  • Magic mouse sluggish

    About once a day, or more, my Magic Mouse become sluggish. It will not move quickly and I end up using the touch pad to do my work. I really don't like this mouse and am considering going back to a good, old, cheap, reliable, wireless mouse.

    I've had the same problem since buying it; even had it switched out at the Genious Bar.  I've gone back to the Magic Mouse, which only requires the ball to be cleaned from time to time to work realiably.
    But since a wireless mouse has so much to offer, I'll probably buy another brand.

  • Magic Mouse lost scrolling function-no evidence of USB overdrive installed

    My magic mouse lost its scolling function after my son's friend used his own USB mouse for gaming on my iMac. I've read the discussion forums and thought the problem could be a conflict w/USB overdrive but there's no evidence of it in my utilities folder:
    Here are the current system preferences for the mouse, which appear to me to be in working order (am I missing something?):
    and
    And info from my system profiler:
    Have restarted ad infinitum after making minor adjustments: changing batteries, re-paring the mouse, and running software update. Any other suggestions would be welcome--- other than throtteling the little reprobate who plugged his usb mouse into my imac w/o asking Let me know if you need additional system information, too, and I'll post it ASAP.
    Thanks-Andrew

    Thanks Captfred, but unfortunately the problem still persists. It was checked so I tried it a few different ways, too.
    -Unchecked it then rechecked
    -Unchecked it then rechecked then restarted
    -Unchecked it then restarted then rechecked
    -Unchecked it then restarted then rechecked then restarted again...
    -Said a few naughty words then restarted...
    -Swore on the grave of Steve Jobs that I'd stand in line for the iPhone 5 then restarted...
    -Did the hokie pokie then restarted...
    Nada.
    What an odd bug. You think I need I reinstall the OS?
